Even Yinreng, who was in the Imperial Study, heard the commotion and became very restless while sitting below.

Yinti listened to the Grand Tutor's lecture while watching his younger brother, the Crown Prince, who seemed unusually restless today. He was curious; the Crown Prince was usually the most diligent student, so what was wrong with him today?

Yinreng remained silent, fidgeting restlessly in his chair. When the Grand Tutor announced the end of get out of class, he dashed out like the wind.

The eunuchs behind him were a little slow to react, and after a moment of stunned silence, it was only after Yinti nudged them that they snapped out of it and ran after him.

When Yinreng arrived at Yonghe Palace, all the imperial physicians had already left, leaving only Mingxiu and Kangxi to have dinner.

The two were eating and chatting happily when the cozy atmosphere in the room was suddenly broken by Yinreng.

"Mother Consort Ming, where do you feel unwell?" Yinreng rushed in and asked Mingxiu.

Her eyes were slightly moist.

Mingxiu, somewhat taken aback, put down her bowl and looked at Yinreng, who was covered in sweat, with a pang of sympathy. She pulled him to sit beside her.

She picked up a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his face.

While wiping, she said, "It's alright, Consort Ming is fine. But why are you in such a hurry to run away?"

Yinreng was still a little worried, but seeing that Mingxiu was still the same as before, without any discomfort, and that his father, the Emperor, also had a relaxed expression, he finally relaxed.

"When I heard that the Empress Dowager had invited many imperial physicians, I thought something had happened," Yinreng breathed a sigh of relief.

Mingxiu secretly glared at Kangxi, because it was all because of him that this mess happened.

"Alright, alright, it's nothing. It's all your overreaction, Father Emperor."

Yinreng nodded to the side.

Kangxi coughed twice and looked at the two people who were united in their hatred with annoyance.

Who is he doing all this for? Honestly.

"Alright, what kind of man cries like this? Behave yourself." Kangxi said to Yinreng in an annoyed tone.

Yinreng glared at Kangxi, then turned away and ignored him.

She was whispering to Mingxiu, telling her how anxious she was when she heard the news, and how she rushed over as soon as school was over.

Mingxiu was even more moved when she heard this. Knowing that Yinreng hadn't eaten, she quickly asked someone to bring him a bowl and chopsticks to eat.

The two were very affectionate, which made Emperor Kangxi look rather lonely.

If anyone else had shown such disrespect to the Emperor, he would have been furious long ago. But looking at the scene before him now, a closer look reveals that the corners of his mouth are slightly upturned.

After the three of them finished their meal, Yinreng's mood had calmed down. Now he was on the best terms with his father, the Emperor, and the two of them were having a great time together.

Mingxiu sat on the sofa in the glass room, looking at her sketchbook with a cup of tea in her hand. Every now and then, she would glance up at the two people playing chess in front of her.

The heartwarming scene of the three of them brought smiles to the faces of those serving them.

The imperial physicians in the palace had already received the emperor's instructions and naturally didn't say anything, so even though everyone had some guesses, no one would say anything.

As long as Mingxiu isn't pregnant, that's fine. She's already been spoiled like this even if she's not pregnant; if she were pregnant, things would be terrible.

Of course, some people are happy while others are sad.

Although the young noblewoman in the palace didn't want Mingxiu to get pregnant, she thought that if she got pregnant, she wouldn't be able to serve the emperor anymore, and then she would have a chance, so she still hoped that Mingxiu would get pregnant.

Some people didn't want her to be pregnant. When the Imperial Noble Consort of Chengqian Palace heard the news that Mingxiu was not pregnant, she breathed a huge sigh of relief.

Leisurely time always flies by, and there's not much to do in winter.

Yonghe Palace

Yinreng sat expressionlessly in the warm pavilion of Yonghe Palace, eating the ice bowl made by Mingxiu.

It has a thin layer of shaved ice inside, mixed with fruit and dried fruit, plus fermented milk. It's sweet and sour, and refreshingly cool – a truly delicious treat.

Chewing it, the icy sensation is quite captivating.

Eating an ice bowl in winter is just like eating a popsicle in short sleeves and shorts in the dead of winter with the heating on – it's incredibly comfortable.

Yinreng, though small, sat there with an air of nobility, dressed in a bright yellow brocade robe, already exuding the demeanor and bearing of a crown prince.

Mingxiu watched Yinreng from the side, secretly smiling, taking a bite of the ice bowl, and then quietly smiling again.

Yinreng, who was eating an ice bowl next to him, grew increasingly dark-faced and quickly sped up his eating. The palace servants serving him at Yonghe Palace also looked helpless.

Green Bamboo wanted to tell her mistress to stop laughing, as the Crown Prince was about to get angry.

Mingxiu didn't care. She knew why His Highness the Crown Prince was sitting there silently eating his ice bowl. It was because he had lost a tooth a couple of days ago.

Mingxiu found the scene from that day amusing. Yinreng rushed over in a panic when he heard that Yonghe Palace had summoned the imperial physician, only to find out that nothing was wrong. He ended up having a meal there, but afterwards, he felt that his teeth were soft and a little uncomfortable.

Upon hearing this, Mingxiu glanced at him and realized that he was about to lose a tooth.

He clapped his hands and said, "It's nothing, I'm just about to lose a tooth. It will grow back slowly after it falls out in a couple of days."

After thinking for a moment, he added, "But during this period, you shouldn't eat too many stimulating foods, such as sweet or spicy ones."

Yinreng frowned and nodded. He knew what losing a tooth meant, and he wasn't afraid of it, but it would really make him look ugly. How could a handsome prince like him be missing a tooth?

When Emperor Kangxi heard that Yinreng was about to lose a tooth, he became curious, pulled Yinreng to his side, opened his mouth to look at the tooth, and gently wiggled his finger.
